Julia Garnham, NCPS

Julia Garnham is a counsellor who uses a flexible, pluralistic approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She holds NCPS accreditation and aims to create a calm, steady space where clients can talk about what matters to them. Sessions are practical and paced to each person’s needs. Julia also lists jealousy among her areas of focus and will address relationship-related worries alongside other concerns.

Julia blends Attachment-Based work with client-centred care and elements of cognitive behavioural therapy to suit each person. She sometimes uses hypnotherapy for relaxation and mindfulness practices to ground difficult feelings. Creative activities such as journaling or simple art tasks may be introduced to make hard thoughts easier to access and discuss.

Her practice supports people coping with life changes such as separation and bereavement, and those dealing with issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, dissociation and body image. Julia also works with people affected by domestic violence, caregiver stress and guilt or shame, offering practical strategies for day-to-day coping.

With four years’ experience, Julia aims to work collaboratively. She listens for what matters most and helps people try techniques in-session that they can use between meetings. Where needed she adapts the mix of approaches as progress and goals become clearer.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Julia draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in ways that translate well to remote work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice and change unhelpful interaction habits. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and supporting a person to find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. Techniques can be tried and reviewed together so the plan changes as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins or making it simpler to keep appointments around work or caregiving. It can also make it easier to use practices such as guided relaxation, mindfulness exercises and journaling between sessions, which often form part of the therapeutic work.
